This article presented the characteristics of the grounding electrodes in uniform and two
layer soils when subjected to lightning including the impacts of soil ionization with …

The analysis of the transient performances of grounding systems during a lightning
discharge is proposed in the literature by modeling in time or in frequency domain. The …

In this paper a model to predict the harvest of the energy contained in rainfall by means of
piezoelectric transducers is presented. Different studies agree on the level of suitable …

It is important to identify the impulse performance of the grounding system for lightning
protection. However, the performance is nonlinear and dynamic under impulse condition …

This work evaluates the influence of the absorbing boundary conditions (ABC) and the
representation of frequency-dependent soil parameters on the assessment of the lightning …

Knowledge of impulse characteristics of tower grounding devices is important for lightning
